customGray

Create a custom grayscale image of an RGB--specify weightings or select from predefined versions.

You are now following this Submission

This UI allows you to explore different options for creating custom grayscale images, and to generate MATLAB code and export the results.
Results and code provide output of type double, regardless of input type. (This allows visualization of a wide dynamic range.)
customGray images can improve visualizations and facilitate image segmentation.
